The state 'e two largest schools (Kansas University at Lawrence and Kansas State University at Manhattan) tried unsuccessfully for ~^ny years to gain legislative funds to start a state-wide ETV net- work. This thesis is the story of efforts for a thirty-six yeai period to establish educational television in a state that is now surrounded by large state-wide ETV systems. The efforts of the state schools failed in the Legislature, and Washburn Uni- versity (a small municipal university in Topeka , Kansas) even- tually becaae the operator of the only Kansas ETV station broadcasting in June, 1°68. This study is significant because of the existence of elaborate ETV stations and micro-wave systems in bordering states. Has Kansas lagged behind neighborning states in the area of school support of audio-visual devices? Information for this study was obtained from flies at: Kansas State Uni- versity, Washburn University, KTWU TV station, and WIBW-AM-FM and TV stations 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE CHAPTER I: THE EARLY YEARS Experimental Television at Ksnsas 3tate College Early Efforts for Channel Allocations Kansas University Medical Center Uses Television Closed Circuit TV Proposals and Equipment Start ETV CHAPTER II: THE SECOND ERA OF ETV IN KANSAS 11 Kansas State Used Television Equipment on the Cfmpus Five St?;te Schools Band Together for ETV The Durwood Case Citizens Committee on ETV Formed CHAPTER III: THE THIRD EPA.
